November 18, 2019

Dear Jimmy; just a short note to say hello. I'm sitting here at a nice little coffee shop, warm and cozy on a misty, rainy cold late Fall morning. I saw a cute note from Kaitlyn this morning on your Legacy page telling you that she loves and misses you, always.
Jimmy, she's evolving from the little girl you knew into an amazing young woman who's accomplishments we'll all read about some day soon. I know you know she's at Holy Cross and doing phenomenally well, both academically and socially. She's straight A's, like you, and she's reaching out into the community in the role of a Big Sister. Some very, very fortunate little girl will will be mentored and nurtured by your little girl. Is it your guiding hand, I wonder? I help the best I can but she's her own woman now and is making her own imprint in this world. Cheryl did a Herculean job raising her. Send her a sign of some type and I'll guarantee you she'll know who it's from.
Vanessa and Chris are doing well. Abigail has two children, Liam and Charlie(girl) and both are healthy and thriving. They live with Vanessa and Chris, and I'm delighted and off the charts happy that they do. The love, guidance, discipline and structure that they need as toddlers is ever present, continuous and obvious.
Brian's at U Conn, thriving both socially and academically. He's off to Florence, Italy in January. Kaitlyn and he will be stars in their respective fields of endeavor one day, and soon.
Christopher should have been born with the first name Character. He's all of that and more. The kid's a worker and a plugger, for sure, you two would get along great, given your sense of humor and his penchant for pranks.
Lastly, there's me who sits here with a tear in his eye hoping no one's looking. My thoughts are always drifting and swirling, thinking of what might have been had you lived longer than your thirty-three years. Of course, sadly, we'll never know the answer and it'll always and forever be a mystery. What isn't a mystery, though, is the impact you did make while you were here on earth and the legacy you've left behind as a result. Your presence to this day, albeit you're not here physically, is immense. From above, please hover over and watch Liam and Charlie, gently bending them in the right direction when need be.
Heartbroken always,
Dad

Kaitlyn

I just learned of Jimmy's passing and just wanted to say how sorry I am to his family. You probably don't remember me but I played goalie on a couple different hockey teams with Jimmy when we where younger. He was a great hockey player but more importantly a great person. My thoughts and prayer are with his family.

January 23, 2013

Just a quick note to tell the Bickerton family how very sorry I am that you lost Jim, thinking of my own brother, how many are lost He was a great guy, always making jokes and smiles. I remember the old days at Babson and how well he skated. So much to think about, just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and pray that the days get easier, somehow, it seems they get harder. We just need to remember how beautiful their lives were and remember...just remember.

Jim Bickerton

December 25, 2011

Well, my dearest and most precious son, today is Christmas, 2011. Quite frankly, it's a meaningless day without you to fill out the family message that we are suppose to infer from Christmas.

Your mother came over to Nonnie's house last night, Christmas Eve. She laughs and laughs but I know she's crying inside without you. Vanessa was there with the kids and Chris. Those kids are real characters, especially Christopher. Brian is so bright along with being a very, very accomplished gymnast. That kid is going places, no question about it. Abigail is getting older, 16 now. She's going through lots and lots of teenage changes; mood swings, dissatisfaction with her physical being, a boyfriend of sorts, etc. Typical teenage stuff, I guess. Vanessa seems to be handling it very well from what I can see. She's a terrific mom. Financially she's in big, big trouble, so if there's a lottery where you are send a winner to her, please. :)

Uncle Stephen came too with his family, except for your Cousin Ryan who is a Marine serving the USA in Afghanistan. His son, Stephen, did a video link up with Aunt Emma in Seattle. Nonnie was absolutely delighted with this kind of technology. Frankly, I am too.

I'm headed over to Vanessa's. She's having steak, and I'm not at all crazy about that. I'll pick on something. What I'll thoroughly enjoy is the kids.

OK, off to the gym for an early morning workout.

Jim Bickerton

My Dearest and Most Precious Son;

Well, #7, today is 7 years since you unexpectedly and way too soon left this earth. There's still that sense of devasting loss that is so far unrecoverable. In fact, I think the longer you're gone, the worse it is.

Yesterday was also Easter Sunday, but it really didn't mean a hill-of-beans to me. I went over to the MFA and enjoyed a solo day thinking of what would have become of you had you stayed with us. It's really a moot issue, given the reality of our life's end result.

Vanessa went over to your mother's with the kids. They are so, so funny. One is more enjoyable than the other, but for different reasons. Safe to say, Vanessa is on them to do the right thing and they seem to be following her script. She's a great, great mom and an even a nicer person. Tons of friends.

OK, I'm having a more than difficult time getting through this tome so sleep soundly and I hope to see you soon.

Dad

April 9, 2011

Just a short note, Jim. As you know, yesterday was my 64th birthday and I had a nice, quiet celebration. There's a new gal in my life, a cute little Italian who you would think is hilarious. I laugh from the moment I see her to the moment I leave, plus she's a really good person.

I'm still reading the Robert Frost poetry book you bought me way back when. Actually, it was April 8, 1980. Yes, you were 9.

OK, I'm off to see Brian's gymnastics class. He dinished first overall in a gymnastics meet last Saturday. He's quite nimble and athletic and very, very bright. Sound familiar? :)

OK, I'm off. You're missed more than words can say.

Dad Dad

January 12, 2010

Happy Birthday, Jimmy, 39 years young. Way to young to have left us so devastatingly unexpectedly.

I trust your heavenly celebration will be fraught with your infectious laughter, omnipresent good cheer and a good time that mirrors your earthly persona.

Had you stayed with us, Jimmy, you would have seen Kaitlyn flourish as an extremely bright, delightful little girl who is the mirror image of you. A smile that illuminates a room; Abigail, Brian and Christopher progress amazingly well socially and academically. They are truly and officially "characters" and very easy to be around.

Your one and only baby sister is a very hard working woman. She's phenomenal mother and an amazingly diligent woman who thoroughly enjoys her primary family and her work environment family. Everyone gets a smile and a good word from her, much the same as you, Jim.

As for me, I was blessed with the privilege of having been your and Vanessa's father, and Kaitlyn's, Abigail's, Brian's and Christopher's grandfather. As far as major life's accomplishments are concerned, that would be quite enough for any man. See, Jimmy, it's the simple things in life that count the most.

I love you immensely and I heartachingly miss you.

Dad

I was thinking of you today Jimmy....

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Jim Bickerton

April 24, 2009

Good morning, my most precious son. Well, Jim, today is five years since you left us so suddenly. To me, it seems like just yesterday we received that awful, heartbreaking, devastating news. Much has changed, obviously, but for the most part, we're all still here thinking about you, always. You're an omnipresent figure in all of our lives, if only in memory.

You would be very proud of Kaitlyn. She's a beautiful child, both inwardly and outwardly. Like you, Jim, she's bright and has a smile that lights up a room. She has a certain presence about her. Jim, it's like looking at you all over again. She references you often and fondly.

Jim, you would get such a kick out of Abigail, Brian and Christopher. What characters they are, Christopher especially. Oh, by the way, he now has a broken arm, courtesy of his gymnastics class. He's is so feisty and active. The kid is an activity machine. Reminds me of someone else at that age. :):):)

Brian is so bright and he knows it. Just the other day he told me that he was awesome. He's cocky without being arrogant. He's a nice kid, well liked and, with hard work, he has the potential to be a terrific gymnast. He has all the moves, flexibility and quiet drive to do well.

Abigail, Miss Abigail, what can I say. She's a typical 13 year old who's naturally popular and a really good kid. Like all kids her age, she could work harder at school, but she continues to make the honor roll. Being first born, we expect a lot and, basically, she delivers. She's a plugger who's in that awkward transitional stage of her young life. With all three kids, your memory is actively alive. There's not one time that I'm with them that your name isn't mentioned about something. I love that.

Vanessa continues to work very, very hard at both of her jobs. Your sister's a great mom and a great daughter. She and I are often at odds about her working, but secretly I love the ethic that motivates her.

Jim, the wound of your passing will never heal, nor is it suppose to. Your presence is palpable, both in memory and spirit.

Rest in peace, my most precious son.

Kaitlyn's First Communion

Jim Bickerton

January 12, 2009

Good morning, my dearest and precious son. Well, Jim, today you would have been 38. Amazing, isn't it, just how quickly time passes?

Nonnie and I have a Mass being said at St. John's in Canton this morning. I find it almost impossible to believe that your physical presence is gone almost five years.

Jim, you would be so, so proud of the Kaitlyn. She's a real doll of a kid; pleasant, very pretty and very, very bright. Smartest kid in her class. :)

Abigail, Brian and Christopher speak of you often and fondly, always asking me about your exploits as a kid, a young adult and as a man. Naturally, I speak of you glowingly and with exaggerated tales of accomplishment.

Abigail doesn't have your mathematical brain for school, but God knows she has your social skills. She's a plugger who tries hard and wants to do well. Popularity is her aim-of-the-day.

Brian inherited both your physical ability and your brain. He's a real special kid. Gymnastics is his sport and he is really, really agile and good. He loves his personal accomplishments.

Now, here comes Christopher; what a character this kid is. Your energy, plus a feistiness. He, too, will be special. I think the performing arts, maybe a musician. God knows, he loves the center stage.

Vanessa's still working hard. Truth be told, I think she likes it. She's a great kid who's a terrific mom, wife and friend.

OK, got to get going here. I love you forever and miss you deeply.

Dad

To my beautiful son:
Happy Birthday honey. I took Brian and Christoper out on Saturday and was telling them that it is your birthday on Monday. They said that they were going to say a prayer for you. Please hear our prayers to you Jimmy. There isn't a day or a moment that I don't think of you. I love you.

Mummy

October 10, 2008

My dearest and most precious son;

Just a note to say the kids and I were actively thinking and talking about you last night. I took them roller skating over to United Skates of America, down in Pawtucket.

Both Abby and Brian asked several times "Puppa, what would Uncle Jimmy be doing now? How fast would he be skating? Needless to say, I gave them both the truthful and the exaggerated version.

Hey, Abigail is President of her class, and Brian was named Student of the Month. Remember back-in-the-day the day, Jim?

OK, yak with you again soon.

Dad

April 24, 2008

My desrest and most precious son;
Well, Jim, it's been four years since you left us so suddenly and sadly.

To say you're missed is a massive understatement. There's a huge void in so, so many lives. Your presence touched us all in so many different ways; Kaitlyn as a father, Vanessa as a brother, Abigail, Brian and Christopher as an uncle, Nonnie as a grandson and, most of all, mum and me as a son.

I wish you could see how Kaitlyn is thriving under Cheryl's mothering. She's a great kid who's incredibly bright just like you were. Facially, she is the picture of you. Jim, even her mannerisms are all you. I watch her at one of her dance classes and all I can see is you reincarnated. Just an amazing kid.

Abigail, Brian and Christopher know you as if you'd never left us. I keep your name alive and they always ask me different types of questions about you. Of course, I answer, often times exaggerating, but the story line stays consistent. They're real characters, especially Christopher. His energy abounds, and there's no quit in him. Sounds like someone I know, right? Brian's gymnastics classes are going really well. He's first in his school class academically, and he's first in his gymnastics class. He has great athleticism, especially back flips, front flips, still rings, trampoline and bars. I love watching him perform. Abigail is growing up nicely. Her progress in school is good, I like her choice of friends and she's very personable. Oh, now she has blue braces on her teeth. She's very proud of them and shows them off to anyone that will look. Very funny.

Vanessa and Chris are doing well. Vanessa is a workaholic and Chris seems to like being on the cops. Lots of income, but lots of expense, too, raising three kids. All in all, they're doing a terrific job, both as parents and role models.

Well, my son, until we meet again, know that I miss you terribly and that I love you immensely.

Dad

TO MY JIMMY,

MY SON-MY HEART-MY SOUL.
HOW MY LIFE WAS BLESSED AND BRIGHTENED ON THE DAY YOU WERE BORN. I WAS AWAKENED TO A NEW KIND OF LOVE, WITH A DEPTH BEYOND MY DREAMS... HOW COULD I HAVE KNOWN AT THAT TIME IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING ?
THE DARK DAYS AND SORROWS, THEY MIXED WITH LAUGHTER AND JOYS SEAMLESSLY INTO AN ELIXIR THAT BECAME UNIQUE BETWEEN YOU AND I .
MANYTIMES I HELD YOU IN MY ARMS AND MANY TIMES YOU HAD TO HOLD ME.
STRENGHTS AND WEAKNESS EBB AND FLOW LIKE THE OCEAN TIDES.
THROUGHOUT IT ALL,YOU MUST KNOW , THAT FROM YOUR VERY FIRST BREATH YOU HAVE BEEN DEEPLY LOVED.
SOMETIMES LOVE IS LOUD, AND SOMETIMES LOVE IS SILENT AND SOFT.
MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL ECHO THROUGHOUT ALL TIME AND MEMORY.
YOU ARE EVERYWHERE I LOOK.
IN THE VERY AIR I BREATHE.
WHAT WE HAVE..DEATH CANNOT REACH.
IT HAS NO POWER. BECAUSE, ON THAT DAY I BECAME YOU MOTHER.
IT WAS WRITTEN IN ETERNITY, YOU WILL FOREVER REMAIN MY BEAUTIFUL SON. I LOVE YOU JIMMY
ALWAYS YOUR MOTHER

No one knows the silent heartaches only those who love can tell. The grief we bear in silence for the one we loved so well. I love you so much. Mum

Hi Jimmy, just thinking of you, always. Love your sister


Ness

Jim Bickerton

April 24, 2007

My Dearest and Most Precious Son;

Well, Jimmy, it was three years ago today you left us. I must tell you that there is a profound sadness that follows me daily.

Jimmy, I wish you could see how Kaitlyn is progressing. She's bright and pretty and has this wonderfully low-keyed way about her that is absolutely charming. Looking at her is like looking at you. She's your mirror image with your coloring, captivating smile and charm.

Vanessa's incredible. Two, sometimes three jobs, as well as being a phenomenal mother and wife. I always thought mum was the epitomy of what a mother should be. I know you felt the same way. She spoiled us both and I'll never find another like her. I don't even try anymore.

Chris seems to like being on the job. I hope so, it's a terrific opportunity for him. I'm still waiting for him to find his work niche, but I'm completely confident he will.

Abigail, Brian and Christopher are real characters. Three totally different personalities. You'd really get a kick out of the three of them, Jimmy. I see bits and pieces of you in all four of the kids. Katie with her incredibly strong physical resemblance, Abigail in overall personality, Brian with his being so, so bright, and Christopher with his incredible energy and demeanor, coupled with a side order of irreverence and defiance. Being honest, Jimmy, I love the challenge he brings to my table.

Jimmy, I live knowing you are in a better place and that you'll watch over all of us.

Until we meet again my beautiful son.

vanessa ulbrich

April 24, 2007

Jimmy,

It's three years today since you left us. Since then, I became a different person. I will never be the same person as you knew. I am more of a realist and things have to get done now, not later. There will always be something missing in my life, that's you. I am grateful that we were able to spend as much time together as we did. You were a great brother and you took care of me just like I tried to take care of you. I know you are watching down on us. We definitely had a great time together, and I will always look back and smile. I will never forget you, how could I. I will forever miss you and we will never stop talking about you. I have so many funny stories.

Your sister, Vanessa

Susan Antovil

To my beautiful son Jimmy.

The day you left, my heart split in two one filled with memories, the other left with you. I often lie awake at night when the world is fast asleep. I take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. I do that everday, missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly in my heart and there you will remain.
My son forever. We will be together some day. Love Mum

Dad

June 19, 2006

My dearest and most precious son;

Happy Father's Day. Well, Jim, it's been two years since you left us so suddenly and unexpectedly.

I have so many wishes, but none more prevalent than seeing your radiant smile and captivating personality.

I wish you could see how Kaitlyn is thriving under Cheryl's mothering. Jim, she's terrific. You would be so proud.

Also, I wish you could see Abigail, Brian and Christopher. What characters they are. Christopher is the living image of you at the same age; funny, witty, boundless energy and a real challenge. Abigail and I speak of you often, and Brian is privy to all of our conversations. He's the smartest kid in his kindergarten class, so says his teacher. Ring any bells, Jim? Abby's like a sponge when your name is mentioned. Brian, too, but in a more silent and low keyed way.

Vanessa is great. She's driving the Attleboro school bus. Would you get a huge kick out of that, or what? God, I can hear you now. Chris is now "on the job". I hope he's loving it. Moreover, I hope he appreciates the opportunity he's been given. Jim, watch over him, guide him and protect him.

In fact, I pray you watch over all of us from your perch high above this earth.

There's a gaping hole in all of our hearts that can never be filled or repaired.

Until we meet again, Dad.

Two-years today. I am so sorry you are not here with us. I know that you are watching over us and keeping us sane, most of the time. Everybody always thinks of you often and we tell stories. You have missed so much, but I know that you know what is going on. So, thank you. I never told you enough how much I enjoyed having you as a brother, and how much I miss being a sister. Always loved and never forgotten. Love Ness.

JIMMY, 1-YEAR TODAY. IT IS ALL STILL SO FRESH. I CAN STILL HEAR YOUR VOICE AS IF IT WAS YESTERDAY. YOU JUST DIDN'T REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT YOU WERE TO ALL OF US. NOT ONE DAY GOES BY WHERE I DON'T THINK OF YOU CONSTANTLY. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE, IT DOESN'T SEEM REAL. EVEN AFTER A YEAR, YOU WOULD THINK IT GETS EASIER. WELL, I WILL THINK OF YOU TODAY, A LOT. LOVE, NESS

First, My deepest of sympathy's to the entire Bickerton Family. I just come back from serving 5 years over seas and learned of this tragedy when I arrived home. I worked with Jim at Armstrong ambulance company and he was a great hearted guy. I just lost 1 year ago the father of my 2 year old twins to a very similar tragedy so I know what everyone is going through. My prayers are always with you. He will be missed always, the good times we had in Dedham and Southie will not be forgotten.

VANESSA ULBRICH

March 29, 2005

Jimmy, the last time I saw you was Easter 2004. I will never forget that day. That was not a happy time in your life, but you were still smiling and cracking jokes. It's hard to believe that it has been almost a year since you passed. Never did I think that day when you left that would be the last time I would ever see or speak to you, I miss those Friday night calls. A lot has happened in the last year, it would have been nice for you to be a part of it all. I know in your own way you are helping us to get through all the muck. We take everything day by day and deal. Some days are good, some are not so good. But, we do have the Red Sox and the Patriots to look forward to. The Bruins, maybe next year. So, please keep watching over us, we all need a lot of help. Until my next dream, we will chat.



Love, Ness

Vanessa Ulbrich

November 22, 2004

Jimmy, the holidays are near, and I am wishing you, my brother, were here with us. I am so accustomed to seeing you walk in with Cheryl and Kaitlyn, it will be strange to see them alone. I have no choice, I will deal; I will set you a plate at the table where you would have sat. I know you are looking over us. Happy Thanksgiving.

I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear of his death. I have been trying to locate him for the past two years and tried leaving messages. I would like to find out some details on what happened to him these last two years. Jim helped me enourmouly in last 15 years that he did work for me. I attribute much of my success and peace of mind to him helping me to make sure I hire only good people. I really loved him and do sorely miss him.
